Mesa Burger is a gourmet hamburger shop with local roots and celebrity chef guidance. That's right, Cat Cora of Iron Chef fame is one of the driving forces behind this upscale casual restaurant. It's a great place to pop in for lunch or bring the family for dinner. Menu items include a variety of burgers named after Santa Barbara locations. Try the Leadbetter with ginger teriyaki and grilled pineapple salsa or the Funk Zone with a sunny side up fried egg and applewood bacon. Fish and veggie burgers are also available as well as salads and, of course, expertly fried fries. An assortment of local wine, beer and cider is available - they even have beer floats! And don't forget dessert. Mesa Burger serves McConnell's ice cream, a true local favorite.
